Previously Shehy Mor in MV. This name, found on the OSI 1:25,000 map of the Reeks (1991), was the personal creation of J. C. Coleman ('The Mountains of Killarney', p. 30).
Shehy Mountain is the second highest mountain in the Purple Mountain area and the 67th highest in Ireland. Shehy Mountain is the second most easterly summit in the Purple Mountain area. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/68/?PHPSESSID=3ar325mk2opkpuqip7h83cdqe4

Did this as part of a Purple-Shehy-Tomies-Purple NE top route, although if you wanted to do it in isolation, a forest track to the north leads to within 2km of the summit. After Purple, I skirted the NE top to approach from the saddle at Point 896 857A, after which it is a very easy ascent of about 50m over gently rising stony ground. Summit marked by cairn.
